The work presented is a three-part set of studies containing a comparative analysis of the displacement state of rectangular concrete deep beams made of concrete of different classes of very high strength, loaded dynamically. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the method presented in this paper [1], which allows for the physical nonlinearity of structural materials: concrete and reinforcing steel to be taken into account. Each part of the work contains the results of numerical solutions of the displacement state of the deep beams separately for the concrete strength of C100 grade, C200 grade, and C300 grade, in each case reinforced with ordinary steel and increased strength steel. Comparative analysis is carried out in Part Two and Part Three, where the results obtained in these parts are respectively compared with the results obtained in the preceding parts. The analysis includes the mutual relations of mechanisms for achieving dynamic load carrying — capacity. The results describing the variation of displacements in time indicate the characteristic features of the deep beam effort and allow for the inference on reaching the state of the dynamic load carrying — capacity. In general, the work confirmed the accuracy of the assumptions and deformation models of concrete and steel as well as the effectiveness of methods of analysis proposed in paper [1] for the problems of numerical simulation of reinforced concrete deep beams behaviour under dynamic loading. The key assumptions used in the analysis are presented in the first part of the paper. The characteristic features of structural materials: concrete and reinforcing steel are presented, taking into account the modified idea of modelling of the dynamic properties of concrete as a material of very high strength. An analysis of the displacement state of rectangular reinforced concrete deep beams made of very high strength concrete of C100 grade under dynamic load for two types of reinforcing steel — ordinary and increased strength — was carried out.

Background: When a beam is loaded on two opposite faces and the beam’s depth is increased such that either the span-to-depth ratio is smaller than four or the shear-span-to-depth ratio is less than two, it will behave like a deep beam. Strain distribution in deep beams is different from that of ordinary beams because it is nonlinear along with the beam depth. If the beam is cast monolithically with a slab in the slab–beam system, it is considered a T-deep beam. The behavior of the resulting member is more complicated. Objective: The effect of flange width on the behavior of high-strength self-consolidated reinforced concrete T-deep beams was investigated. Methods: Experimental and numerical studies were conducted. Two shear span-to-depth ratios (1.25 and 0.85) were adopted for two groups. Each group consisted of four specimens: one rectangular beam that served as a reference beam and three flanged beams with flange widths of 440, 660 and 880 mm. All specimens had an overall depth of 450 mm, a width of 160 mm and a total length of 1600 mm. The tests were performed under a two-point load with a clear span of 1400 mm. A nonlinear analysis was also performed using ANSYS software. Results: Throughout the study, the performance of the T-deep beams has been investigated in terms of cracking loads, failure loads, modes of failure, loading history, rate of widening of cracks and ductility index. Results revealed that such parameters have a different ranges of effect on the response of T-deep beams. Calibration of the ANSYS model has been done by comparing results of load-deflection curves, cracking and failure loads with that obtained experimentally. Conclusion: The study’s results indicated that increasing the flange width yielded an 88% improvement in the failure load and an approximately 68% improvement in the cracking load. This positive effect of flange width on the failure load was more pronounced in beams with higher shear span to- depth ratios and flange widths of 660 mm. In addition, the beam’s ductility was improved, especially in cases corresponding to a higher shear span-to-depth ratio. The finite element simulation showed good validation in terms of the load-deflection curve with a maximum failure load difference of 9%. In addition, the influence of longitudinal steel reinforcement on the behavior of such members was studied. Some parameters that reflect the effect of changing the flange width on the behavior of deep beams were also presented. Increasing the flange width is more effective when using normal strength concrete than when using high-strength concrete in terms of cracking load, beam stiffness, and failure load.

Abstract Background A series of nonlinear finite element (FE) analyses was performed to evaluate the different design approaches available in the literature for design of reinforced concrete deep beam with large opening. Three finite element models were developed and analyzed using the computer software ATENA. The three FE models of the deep beams were made for details based on three different design approaches: (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978), (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006), and Strut and Tie method (STM) as per ACI 318-14 (ACI318 Committee, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI318-14), 2014). Results from the FE analyses were compared with the three approaches to evaluate the effect of different reinforcement details on the structural behavior of transfer deep beam with large opening. Results The service load deflection is the same for the three models. The stiffnesses of the designs of (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) and STM reduce at a load higher than the ultimate design load while the (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) reduces stiffness at a load close to the ultimate design load. The deep beam designed according to (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) model starts cracking at load higher than the beam designed according to (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) method. The deep beam detailed according to (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) and (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) failed due to extensive shear cracks. The specimen detailed according to STM restores its capacity after initial failure. The three models satisfy the deflection limit. Conclusion It is found that the three design approaches give sufficient ultimate load capacity. The amount of reinforcement given by both (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, 2006) and (Kong, F.K. and Sharp, G.R., Magazine of Concrete Res_30:89-95, 1978) is the same. The reinforcement used by the STM method is higher than the other two methods. Additional reinforcement is needed to limit the crack widths. (Mansur, M. A., Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings, (2006)) method gives lesser steel reinforcement requirement and higher failure load compared to the other two methods.

In this research, an experimental study is conducted to investigate the behavior and strength of high strength reinforced concrete corbels externally bonded with CFRP fabric sheets and Plates with different patterns taking into account the effect of adopted variables in enhancing the ultimate strength; the effect of shear span to effective depth (a/d), configuration, type and amount of bonding. Eleven high strength reinforced corbels were cast and tested under vertical loads. Test results showed there was an improvement in the behavior and load carrying capacity of all strengthened corbels. An increasing in the ultimate strength of strengthened corbel by inclined CFRP strips reached to (92.1%) while the increasing reached to (84.21%) for using one horizontal CFRP Plates compared to un-strengthened reference specimen. Also, it can be conducted that the increase of (a/d) ratio from (0.6 to 0.8) resulted in decreasing by 21.05% in ultimate load capacity of corbels and from (0.4 to 0.6) by 31.25% and 58.69% in cracking and ultimate loads respectively Using CFRP .

This paper deals with the roof structural system using prestressed girders made of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). One of the aims of this study is to verify whether the option of the UHPC girders could be under certain boundary conditions competitive with the commonly used construction materials. Due to its high strength, UHPC enables the design of the structural elements with the high load bearing capacity and with smaller slenderness compared to normal strength concrete elements. The price of UHPC is currently still very high compared to the normal strength concretes or steel. Therefore, its use for the usual designed structures does not recently seem too economically attractive. The effect of material savings is nonnegligible in the case, that a self-weight of the structure forms dominant component of the total load. In addition to the high strength, UHPC has very high resistance to environmental influences. It is therefore likely, that UHPC could be advantageously applied e.g. for the roofing of industrial buildings of chemical plants with high aggressive environments, because there are high demands on the life cycle of the structure.

Strut And Tie Model

Based on strut-and-tie model (STM) in deep beams, steel truss reinforced concrete (STRC) deep beam was developed. Experimental investigations of mechanical performances of STRC deep beams were carried out, and results show that STRC deep beam is of high ultimate bearing capacity, large rigidity and good ductility; Strut-and-tie force transference model is formed in STRC deep beams, and loads can be transferred in the shortest and direct way. Then Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) strut-and-tie model (SSTM) for determining the shear strength of STRC deep beams is proposed. The contribution of SRC diagonal strut, longitudinal reinforcements, stirrups and web reinforcements to the shear strength of STRC deep beams are determined with consideration of softened effects of concrete, and for safe consideration, superposition theory is employed for SRC struts. Computer programs are developed to calculate the shear strength of STRC deep beams and verified by experimental results.
